Looking at the TSSAA regulations for girls. Just want to clarify. If a girl was a state champ in a lower weight class in 2023, has now bumped up and was beaten by a girl in the 2024 regular season in the new competing weight class, the state champ still gets the higher seed, regardless of head to head results?

(Section IV B.)
Wrestlers who meet the qualification shall be placed in each weight division in the state tournament. In order to be placed, a wrestler must be a sectional champion and must have been a state place finisher during her high school career.

The criteria for placing shall be as follows.

1. Separate all state champions (includes state champions from other states)

2. The following criteria shall be used to separate state champions: (a) state champion at same weight, (b)state champion at higher weight, (c) state champion at lower weight. (If there are two state champions at the same weight the state champion from Tennessee will receive the higher seed.).

3. Follow the same procedure as #2 above for 2nd place from previous year, 3rd place from previous year,

4. Items #2 and #3 shall be applied in order to wrestlers who placed in the state tournament two years prior.

5. Blind draw.

I'm less familiar than some others about the TSSAA seeding rules, but is head to head even considered? I don't see anything about it. Also, is the girl that won the H2H this year a previous state placer? Per the rules you posted:
"In order to be placed, a wrestler must be a sectional champion and must have been a state place finisher during her high school career."

If not a state placer, then she'll just get the blind draw.

She is. So she would still be in seeding criteria. She won the H2H in this 2024 season. But placed lower in the 2023 state tournament.

According the to the handbook, it would also indicate that Regional placement doesn't matter either.

Criteria for seeding is medaling the previous year and winning regionals. If you do both of that then you will find a seed. 

 

Head to head isnt a criteria in duals state or individual state, for boys OR girls. 

Fair. So, is winning regionals the only factor, or does regional placement matter?

I know we have the ability to seed each weight class properly...  but an automatic bracket would be an improvement to the current system.  D2 already does this, but D1 and girls could easily do the same thing.

Girls backet:

Top half:

Region 1 #1 vs Region 4 # 4

Region 2 # 2 vs Region 3 # 3

Region 3 # 2 vs Region 2 # 3

Region 4 # 1 vs Region 1 #4

 

Bottom Half:

Region 2 #1 vs Region 3 # 4

Region 1 # 2 vs Region 4 #3

Region 4 # 2 vs Region 1 #3

Region 3 #1 vs Region 2 #4

 

For Boys- change the word sectional for region and bam- exact same thing.  I know its not a perfect system, but a thousand times better than what is used now.

Given this, it could still put the true  1 and 2 seeds on the same side of the bracket.

      Asking for prayers?

      By Nontypical · Posted

      Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned.

      West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome.

      Where does DCA go?

      By BingoLong · Posted

      I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.

      I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
